  1. Notes: Injury rates are per 10,000 workers and fatality rates are per 100,000 workers. The sample includes only nationals aged 16 and older who are employed or unemployed, except for military personnel. Regressions include a constant term and the personal characteristics shown in Tables 5 and 6. Observations are weighted using the individual weights in the EPA. Standard errors (in parentheses) are clustered on industry or occupation. * significant at 10% ** significant at 5%; *** significant at 1% in one-tailed or two-tailed tests.
